For forms that are part of the FTLD Module to the UDS, the last character is F. As in the UDS, the first character of the form number indicates what kind of information is collected by the form: A: Family history (genetic) data B: Clinical data C: Neuropsychologic data E: Imaging data Z: Used only for the Form Checklist

3 Initial Visit Packet Form Z1F: Form Checklist NACC Uniform Data Set (UDS) ftld module NOTE: This form is to be completed by clinic staff. Examiner s initials: NACC expects and intends that all FTLD forms will be attempted on all subjects being evaluated for the FTLD Module of the UDS, but we realize this may be impossible when the subject is terminally ill, or when there is no informant, or for other reasons. Nevertheless, NACC requires that Forms B3F, B9F, C1F, C2F, C3F, E2F, and E3F be submitted for a subject to be included in the FTLD Module of the UDS database, even though these forms may include some missing data. For forms not designated as required, if it is not feasible to collect all or almost all of the data elements for a subject, and the ADC therefore decides not to attempt collection of those data, an explanation should be provided. Please indicate this decision by including the appropriate explanatory code and any additional comments. KEY: If the specified form was not completed, please enter one of the following codes: 95=Physical problem 96=Cognitive/behavior problem 97=Other problem 98=Verbal refusal 99=Unknown or inadequate information Form Description Submitted: Yes No If not submitted, specify reason (see key, above) Comments (provide if needed) A3aF Record of Consent for Biologic Specimen Use 1 0 A3F Family History: Affected Family Members 1 0 B3F Supplemental UPDRS Required B9F Clinical PPA and bvftd Features Required C1F Neuropsychological Battery Summary Scores Required C2F Social Norms Questionnaire Required C3F Social Behavior Observer Checklist Required C4F Behavioral Inhibition Scale 1 0 C5F Interpersonal Reactivity Index 1 0 C6F Revised Self-monitoring Scale 1 0 E2F Imaging Available Required E3F Imaging in Diagnosis Required UDS/FTLD Version 2.0, January 2012 Page 1 of 1

(EXAMPLE: Suppose a subject is the oldest of three children. The subject was born in 1930 and the middle sibling in 1933; the youngest sibling s birth year is unknown. An approximate birth year of 1934 or later should be assigned to the youngest sibling.) Use that same birth year on FTLD Module Forms A3F and A3aF. If an affected sibling has already been listed on UDS Initial Visit Form A3 with a birth year of 9999, then UDS Initial Visit Form A3 must be edited so that an approximate birth year is entered, as described in the paragraph above. That same birth year should be entered below. Sibling s birth month should be filled out if known; otherwise, please enter 99. Only full siblings should be listed.

7 AFFECTED CHILDREN Use the form below to provide information on affected children only (see definition of affected in the box on page 1 of this form). Child s birth year on this form MUST agree with the birth year listed for that child on UDS Initial Visit or UDS Follow-up Visit Form A3 and FTLD Module Initial Visit or FTLD Follow-up Visit Form A3aF (if applicable). Unknown (9999) is not a permissible value. If birth year is unknown, please provide an approximate year on UDS Initial Visit Form A3 so that the child with unknown birth year ends up in correct birth order relative to the other children. (EXAMPLE: Suppose a subject has three children. The oldest is a son born in 1960, the youngest a son born in 1964, and the middle child a girl whose birth year is unknown. The girl should be assigned an approximate birth year of 1962 or 1963.) Use that same birth year from UDS Initial Visit Form A3 on FTLD Module Forms A3F and A3aF. If an affected child has already been listed on UDS Initial Visit Form A3 with a birth year of 9999, then UDS Initial Visit Form A3 must be edited so that an approximate birth year is entered, as described in the paragraph above.

Autopsy If the autopsy was performed at an outside institution, you must have the report to code as diagnosis by autopsy. 2. Examination The subject must have been examined in person at your ADC/institution or by genetic studies staff associated with your ADC/institution to code as diagnosis by examination. Medical records may or may not have been used when assigning diagnosis. 3. Medical record review from formal dementia evaluation Medical records should be from an examination that focused specifically on dementia; that was performed by a neurologist, geriatrician, or psychiatrist; that includes a neurologic examination, an imaging study, and cognitive testing (e.g., MMSE, Blessed, or more formal tests). A telephone interview may also be used to collect additional information. 4. Review of general medical records AND informant and/or subject telephone interview General medical records can be of various types, including those from a primary-care physician s office, hospitalization records, nursing home records, etc. They may include a neurologic exam and a cognitive test such as the MMSE along with a medical history. The telephone interview with the subject and/or the informant should include a medical history to capture the nature and presentation of cognitive deficits, if present, and age of onset if symptomatic. If the subject is normal or is in the early stages of dementia, brief formal cognitive testing should be included in the interview. Unless an affected subject is in the early stages of dementia, the interview should be conducted with an informant. 5. Review of general medical records ONLY See definition No. 4 above. If general medical records are used to diagnose a subject as demented or not demented, they should include a medical history, neurologic exam, and a cognitive test such as an MMSE. In most cases, general medical records alone should not be used to assign a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, or of any of the FTLD spectrum subtypes, or of parkinsonian disorders other than Parkinson disease. 6. Subject and/or informant telephone interview See definition No. 4 above. 7. Family report Family report should be coded when the informant for the family reports a subject as having been diagnosed with a particular disorder. In most cases, family report alone should not be used to assign a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, or of any of the FTLD spectrum subtypes, or of parkinsonian disorders other than Parkinson disease.

18 Initial Visit Packet NACC Uniform Data Set (UDS) ftld module Form C2F: Social Norms Questionnaire 1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CENTER This questionnaire is designed to be completed by the subject in the presence of a qualified psychologist or psychometrist as part of a face-to-face battery of tests. The examiner should read and explain the instructions to the subject, then ask the subject to complete the questionnaire. If the subject asks for clarification of the procedure or questions, it is acceptable for the examiner to discuss the questionnaire with him or her. Tell the subject that Don t know and Not applicable are not allowable responses for any item. While it is permissible to help a cognitively impaired subject understand and complete the questionnaire (e.g., by reading the questions out loud, or marking their response for them), the examiner should ensure that they merely help the subject understand a question (e.g., by saying, Do you think it s OK to cut in line if you are in a hurry? ), but not help them formulate their response. In this way, if the subject asks what they should answer, it would be permissible to respond with prompts such as, It s up to you. Answer whatever you think is best. It s OK to guess if you re not sure. KEY: If the subject is so impaired as to make administration of this questionnaire impossible, please give the reason by checking one of the following reason codes in the FOR CLINIC USE ONLY section and skip the remaining data elements. 95 = Physical problem 96 = Cognitive/behavior problem 97 = Other problem 98 = Verbal refusal If the subject completes some but not all of the questionnaire, items that are missing should be left blank, and all affected summary scores should be entered as 88 or 88.88, as appropriate. 1 Reproduced by permission of the author, Katherine Rankin, PhD; do not copy or distribute without author s permission.

24 Initial Visit Packet NACC Uniform Data Set (UDS) ftld module Form C4F: Behavioral Inhibition Scale 1 Informant Questionnaire INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CENTER This questionnaire is designed to be completed independently by the informant, who will be describing the subject s current typical behavior. This form may be handed to the informant for completion by him- or herself at any time during the study visit. Tell the subject that Don t know and Not applicable are not allowable responses for any item. If the informant asks for clarification of questions, it is acceptable for a qualified psychologist or psychometrist to discuss the questionnaire with him or her. However, if the informant completes this questionnaire collaboratively with the clinician, either face-to-face or via telephone, you must inform NACC of this change in protocol by checking the appropriate box in the gray FOR CLINIC USE ONLY area at the top of the questionnaire. Before the informant leaves, clinic staff should make sure that all questions were completed by the informant (i.e., none was left blank) by discussing the missing item with the informant and encouraging them to provide a response. If this is not done and it is later noticed that some items were missed by the informant, clinic staff should call the informant as soon as possible so that the missing items can be completed by phone. In this case, the questionnaire is not considered to have been completed independently by the informant. In the shaded area at the top of the form, the appropriate response would therefore be, This questionnaire was completed via telephone interview of informant by clinic staff. If there are still missing items, these items should be left blank, and 88 should be entered for the total score. Copyright 1994 by the American Psychological Association. Adapted with permission.
